Elizabeth May Proves What One MP Can Do

Many people asked, "What can one MP do"? The answer – lots. Since her election in 2011, Elizabeth has proven that one MP can make a difference. She has won many prestigious awards and is highly respected and recognized by her peers. She provides powerful and positive leadership - raising concerns over the damaging Omnibus bills, dangerous investment treaties, and the new, quite possibly unconstitutional, Anti-Terrorist bill. She has worked tirelessly for her constituents with numerous successes.
